Oh yeah - and...

I hope it's obvious I've been doing a little sprucing up of the site. I've got some new (geeky) tricks up my sleeves that I've been wanting to try to use to make the site more "clickity-clickable." AND - I had to get a picture of Eva's bass on the front page...since it seems that no one can resist the thrall of the pink glitter bass guitar.

Girls Rock...MOST DEFINITELY!

Once again I've been neglectful of posting. Ah well.

Today we played an awesome show. It was for a collection of little girls (+ a handful of boys and parents/adults) after the screening of the Girls Rock documentary about the original Rock and Roll Camp for Girls in Oregon. The movie had us crying and feeling all warm and fuzzy. I highly recommend it. Watch it and show it to any girls you know.

Then we played for the kiddies...and they were probably the most amazingly active audience we've ever had - what with the jumping, dancing, and running conga line around the theater. They were screaming into microphones with us, yelling "hey," and asking for autographs (haha). I think we're all totally inspired to try and get more involved in the local RnR camp that opens this summer. Check out their website and give them some money, or some time, or something. As we have found, we need more girls who rock around here. Now we've got a training camp to get them headed toward rock and roll and all that cool self-esteem building type stuff!

Boy...I've been really negligent with our little diary over here, eh? So here we are in 2008..holy crap....you know OGO first materialized in about October of 2004, and when I think about where we've come from and what we are now, I can barely understand how it happened at all. I've been searching my computer to try to find our original set list from our first show, and I can't find it (though I bet Tawni has it shoved in her folder of OGO relics). I did find a sample one from very early on though....so for your general amusement:

1. Mission Impossible - from when we believed we needed a chessetastic intro song


2. Lana and Stevie - an early Donna's song


3. Girl on the Verge - some obscure cover


4. Walk Away -


5. Mr. Brightside - Killers song that was, for some reason, actually deadly to our then guitarist


6. a Coheed & Cambria song that we could never agree on the real title of


7. Lump - by the Presidents of the USA


8. I Want You to Want Me - done in the style of Letters to Cleo


9. Hazy Shade - done in the style of The Bangles


10. Supermodel - by Jill Sobule


11. Picture - I think this was our third original that we still have


12. Dammit - Blink 182


13. Sedated - The Ramones


14. Violet - Hole

So as you can see, mostly covers...most of which we no longer even remember how to play. And this isn't even that early on ...probably at least 7 months into being a band. So how did a cover band turn into us....it's so weird.

So anyway - I'm thinking about all this stuff b/c last night was Kristen's last show with us. She's off to do a much more thorough job of spinning, chopping, frying...and, ah, souffleing. Anyways - I swore to myself that the combination with her would be the last combo for Odd Girl Out - and here we are, again minus a guitarist, and yet still persisting. I guess we've still got songs left to play.

OGO will be working as a 4 piece for the time being, but if you know of any/are a female rhythm guitarist, bassist, or even drummer, there may be a place for you in OGO. We're willing to shift our roles (again) for the right person.

It's been a while...so...

figured I'd post a little about our Chuckles show last night. Big old thanks to Daisy Grenades for coming down from NYC to play a show with us. We know how damn far that drive is....thanks for being so friendly. You've got some dedicated fans for sure...driving from Jersey to check you out in Baltimore..that's pretty awesome.

Ken of Fall Back Plan, thanks so much for letting everyone using your drums...I love anyone who volunteers to make it possible for me not to lug my own out.

Here's to a feedback-free next show to everyone involved!!

She Magazine!

OGO's a feature in this month's (Nov) She Magazine.  You can see our photo on their website...you'll have to order up a copy to get the dish though.

Also - those of you local enough to Ocean City to get their radio stations, we'll be on their Live Lixx at 6 on Ocean98 WOCM FM this Friday. Be sure to tune in to hear some live performances and some chat with us!

Recher Theatre Show (aka the Bearded Sword Incident)

Ahh, but it's nice to see our name in lights. We met yet another photographer who was totally sweet and willing to take our photos. All pictures you see from this show are taken by cms, jr. Thanks! So we wondered what could happen when about 20 twelve through maybe 16-yr-olds show up with a bunch of tupperware and nearly no instruments...and unfortunately we found at. This is the last we're gonna mention of B.S. (how fitting an abbreviation)...but wtf!?!


Anyways. As our usual luck dictates, Kristen's amp wouldn't power up..she played direct through the pa system instead...which at such a high volume, was not actually as bad as it could have been. (Note: Any amp companies want us to endorse them? We'd be happy to..haha!). We also shared the stage with Armed Elephant, who were extremely cool and also nice enough to lend us both equipment and the photographer that came to shoot them. Here's a selection of a couple additional pics (you can find all of them posted off our History page).

Phasefest stuff...

This took a while to get to, but it's for a legit reason - I had to go back to school and do bulletin boards and that sort of stuffs..and it totally monopolized every ounce of energy I had. Anyways, let's talk about PhaseFest! It was an exciting event all around. Everyone was extremely gracious and kind to us. I'd like to personally thank the following totally awesome people for helping me carry drum crap: members of Pariah Piranha, goddess bless you for making load-in so frickin' mind-blowingly fast and painless it's unbelievable, other assorted OGO's, Claire, and Em for making moving stuff up and down the steps, through a totally packed crowd, and out the door again, completely painless. Yay tiny drums and lots of help!

Back to the fest itself. Loads of very different performances and people. Very cool. The band is thoroughly enjoying their goody bag courtesy of Riot Grrrl, Ink. Also - thanks for being such a sweet organizer and host, Mara Levi! God-dess & She get added to the official list of performers Tawni will not sing after...(and it's a short list..haha..so that means a lot!)

You may also notice these totally frickin' beautiful pictures taken by Alex Hickcox..who is never gonna stop getting invitations from me to come take pictures of us..ever again..seriously these photos are amazing (and I hear there's more that have yet to be organized/posted online...so keep checking back here for them).

And speaking of Alex's first official band invitation, it was to our Fantabulous CD release party last night at Fletcher's. It was such a nice turn-out...we really cannot express enough gratitude to everyone for all their support from the start of this band back in 2004 up through today...thanks for bearing with us as we traded up in membership and got our acts officially together. It was worth it...we hope you think so too! Pics from that show will be forthcoming (right Alex? ;) ) And now...we've got some super hot tickets for you. Mark your calendars...we haven't been back to the Recher since the time we only actually had 2 original songs...and we are very excited to return. The show's on Thursday, September 13. 7pm Doors. $7. All-ages. We've got tix in advance. We're playing along with Bearded Sword, Maddison (we saw your tagging of the merch table at Fletcher's last night), and Armed Elephant. Come out and rock out along with us for this one!

Guess who...

..got selected to endorse Daisy Rock Girl Guitars!?! Duh, it's us. We're really excited about this one. We should be appearing in their list of artists very very soon! Yay!
